SUBSTRATE STRUCTURE FOR CAVITY PACKAGE - Various embodiments provide semiconductor devices having cavity substrate structures for package-on-package assembly and methods for their fabrication. In one embodiment, the cavity substrate structure can include at least one top interconnect via formed within a top substrate. The top substrate can be disposed over a base substrate having at least one base interconnect via that is not aligned with the top interconnect via. Semiconductor dies can be assembled in an open cavity of the top substrate and attached to a base center portion of the base substrate of the cavity substrate structure. A top semiconductor package can be mounted over the top substrate of the cavity substrate structure.

Semiconductor Device with an Improved Solder Joint - A semiconductor device with an improved solder joint system is described. The solder system includes two copper contact pads connected by a body of solder and the solder is an alloy including tin, silver, and at least one metal from the transition groups IIIA, IVA, VA, VIA, VIIA, and VIIIA of the Periodic Table of the Elements. The solder joint system also includes, between the pads and the solder, layers of intermetallic compounds, which include grains of copper and tin compounds and copper, silver, and tin compounds. The compounds contain the transition metals. The inclusion of the transition metals in the compound grains reduce the compound grains size and prevent grain size increases after the solder joint undergoes repeated solid/liquid/solid cycles.

Method for Fabricating Flip-Attached and Underfilled Semiconductor Devices - A semiconductor device, which comprises a workpiece with an outline and a plurality of contact pads and further an external part with a plurality of terminal pads. This part is spaced from the workpiece and the terminal pads are aligned with the workpiece contact pads, respectively. A reflow element interconnects each of the contact pads with its respective terminal pad. Thermoplastic material fills the space between the workpiece and the part; this material adheres to the workpiece, the part and the reflow elements. Further, the material has an outline substantially in line with the outline of the workpiece, and fills the space substantially without voids. Due to the thermoplastic character of the filling material, the finished device can be reworked, when the temperature range for reflowing the reflow elements is reached.
